I’ve done a lot of interviews over the last decade. I love it when I go into an interview and I get knocked out by the artist as a human being! Where my expectation are blown out of the water, where I ‘m looking at my camera crew and they’re looking at me with the same flabbergasted intensity like Wow! This person is really cool. Coming up is one of those times, where I walked away from the interview with big smile. I’m not even going to introduce her, I’ll just let the interview speak for itself… As we goi into this interview I want to thank our sponsor Zenni Eyewear, at Zenni.com you are able to Customize your eyewear with a prescription lens or non-prescription lens if you just want the an awesome look or distinctive color or a particular style of lens. check it out today: here’s the interview

Poll: What song or performance changed your mind about an artist the you were indifferent to previously where you gained a respect or new perspective?

[@bigneon_glitter]

Growing up on Punk/Indie in the 80s, I actively avoided Pink Floyd/Prog. It was uncool "Dinosaur Rock" & your parents going to Lazer Floyd didn't help. _Kid A_ comes out & critics compare it to _DSOTM._ So, out of curiosity, I listen to Floyd for the first time. They had me from the opening chord of "Breathe". Joni Mitchell's another one. Celebrated primarily for her early Hippie/Laurel Canyon albums (which I still can't get into), I never understood the depth & expanse of her genius until I heard _Hissing Of Summer Lawns._ Some of the most sublime, elegant music I'd ever heard.

[@williambenner5550]

Great question! What jumps out to me is November Rain, by Guns And Roses! I didn't care for them until that song, which is now one of my favorite songs of all time!

[@drsarcasm]

Kings of Leon's debut on SNL. I believe it was Sex on Fire and Use Somebody - both classics now.

[@williambenner5550]

@@bigneon_glitter how could they not? It is funny, because I still see Pink Floyd as extremely innovative and cutting edge for their time! They influenced rock music in so many ways!

[@jamesweldon9726]

Cyndi Lauper, and the first time I heard “Time After Time". She had a depth and soulfulness that I hadn’t expected, having only heard her uptempo material at that point

[@71jolanc]

Man, that ending hit me in the chest .... hard. I'm here alone, working and listening to the interview and tearing up when KT mentioned her brother. What a neat lady with a lot of heart and talent.

[@revswank]

Agreed! I got choked up right there out of nowhere. Great interview.

[@stanthompson374]

KT is the coolest! We’ve seen her a couple of times. Simply amazing. This is my favorite Professor of Rock interview.

[@originalindiechick7999]

Same here, it hit me in the feels! 🥹🥰x

[@bigwillie5717]

As a drummer, I love how she references her “percussive” playing, the importance of “stops,” and teaching guitarists the rhythm before notes (and scales). Not to mention how she seeks a drummer who “swings” instead of a straight 4/4 and/or four-on-the-floor style. Basically…a drummer with groove. Well done KT…and Professor!

[@jayemartin9610]

Tears when she talked about her brother.

[@jared37]

something else that was..

[@CMGutier74]

Dear Professor of Rock. This is one of the best interviews I have seen on your channel. Sometimes, in interviews with other people, it is like pulling teeth to get the artist to tell an interesting story. However, in this interview, Ms. Tunstall is such an engaging storyteller, and you gave her the space to be one while still directing the conversation. You guys really meshed well together. As a music lover of comparable age, thank you for doing what you do.

[@MyName-pl7zn]

What a personality, story and interview! she is so real, love her! Best part was when she said she didn't care if she made it or not that she just wanted to spend her life creating and living her life experiences. Doesn't get any more real than that

[@ProfessorofRock]

If only more artists had that perspective, we'd have so much great music today. Thanks for watching!

She's the real thing..great writer, singer, player, talker, musician....She is so musically knowledgeable...Also she didn't mention that she herself is profoundly deaf in one ear, and is now losing the hearing in her good ear...We need more like KT, excellent.

[@robertlalexander4083]

I love "Suddenly I See" even more than "Black Horse..." truly an underrated and underappreciated artist.

[@kitano0]

@@PrineGuy "Hold On" is my fave! " I was tired of January...."

[@mightyV444]

I'd always thought 'Suddenly I See' was her breakthrough hit!? I'm pretty sure it was actually released *before* 'Black Horse...' here in NZ, at least! I remember (mis)hearing it for the first time and thinking, "'Some B.I.C'?! What does 'B.I.C.' stand for??" 😄

[@CorbCorbin]

@@mightyV444 ‘Suddenly I See’ is what I remember being the real breakthrough too. Cherry Tree wasn’t even originally to be on the album. I definitely heard Suddenly first on US radio, new song CD’s that used to come in magazines. I seriously may not have known it was the same artist, as the songs are pretty different. At least the studio versions. Live, her voice is much more recognizable in both songs, but back when I first heard Cherry Tree, I didn’t think, “Oh, this is the Suddenly I See singer.” I think Black Horse was on a Paste magazine new releases/deep cuts CD, just months later, then the video was aired and she was promoting it on shows. The Jools Holland performance and the American Idol cover really broke her through though.

[@davidwalsh390]

If pressed, I'd say If Only from the 2nd album DF is my favorite. Killer official video for that one.

[@alliswede42]

The comparison of her voice and style to Bonnie Raitt was absolutely on point. Also, I can see why you loved meeting and interviewing her-you appeared to get on as if you were bffs! I was always more partial to Suddenly I See by her. Thanks for giving her some love-she was never as big here as she should have been. 🙏

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thank you Allison! It was such a fun interview.

[@mightyV444]

When it was said in this video that the song was from 2005, I was a bit confused at first because I'd somehow thought it was from the 90's! Probably because KT reminds me a lot of Melissa Etheridge, especially with *this* song. And yes, she's *totally* cool! 😀

[@danball3421]

I remember seeing that on tv when it aired i was there for The Cure But the loop pedalling was superb a memorable moment 🤘

[@Beecher_Dikov]

I did not know until today that the songs she did WEREN'T Bonnie Raitt. I thought it was a different sound for her. I'm loling at myself...

[@davidellis5141]

When I see KT I say " Whoo Hoo ! " - After All These Years ! 😍

[@ProfessorofRock]

Ha ha! No joke. She's really awesome.

[@MrDrewseph]

I understood those references 💛

[@chuckhutton5087]

Jools Holland’s show (minus the live audience) and Daryl Hall’s “Live from Daryl’s House” web series are great shows to showcase artists. KT has been on both.

[@Devo_gx]

I remember when she was at Daryl's House. Watched that video many times

[@ProfessorofRock]

I think it's because people just genuinely love her.

[@ProfessorofRock]

I caught some of it. I'll have to go re watch.

[@mrchrislatino]

Lots of great stuff on LFDH, you just jogged me to go down that youtube rabbit hole of watching it again.

[@theglenlivet3372]

Hell yeah, I have watched quite a few videos of Jools Holland and Daryl's House videos.

Your interview with KT Tunstall is definitely your 'Top 5ver' interview of all time!! She's an amazing musician and story teller. ❤️

[@fgrady1]

I agree, KT is electric in the way she expresses herself and I can easily see why she captivated you! When she got to the story about her brother and him hearing her for the first time, I was blubbering like a schoolgirl! Great interview, Prof!

[@ginacherry-fraley7627]

Me too! So so sweet!

[@wirenutt57]

How TF does a rock interview 24 minutes in cause a 63-year-old retired autoworker to start blubbering like a toddler who can't find his blankie? F you, professor!

[@katmandudawn8417]

I loved her on “ Long Lost Family”. It was so interesting for her to meet her birth mother and siblings.

[@kaysmith5495]

It’s a well known facts that little boys cry and blubber much more than little girls.

[@PatrickLongworth]

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing! I'd heard the song but not known about her, K.T. A very appreciated video!

[@jared37]

As a brit.. and an avid watcher of Jools Holland.. I remember KT's first performance vividly. We'd always be out on a Friday night but would video (using that videoplus code from the tv guide ! ) the show to watch when we got back home. Everyone was blown away. The girt, passion and musicianship - especially when the loop pedal was so new - she blew our minds. In our circle we all say "No KT - No Ed" And she's as cool now as she was then.

[@davidwalsh390]

Lol, video plus!!! Man, I hadn't thought of that in a billion years! I always knew how to program my VHS so never really needed it; never had much use for TV Guide either. I guess it's still around somehow. I adore KT.

[@wrapper2]

Thanks for this! Saw KT open for Barenaked Ladies a couple years ago, she later came out and played with them on Brian Wilson, one of my favorite BNL songs. She flat-out rocked on the guitar with Ed Robertson. Highlight of the show!

[@davidwalsh390]

You're gonna kill me for saying this but I saw her in Columbus, Cincy & Indianapolis that tour and immediately left after she was done lol. That was when she had just released a cover of Petty's I Won't Back Down with Mike McCready from Pearl Jam.

[@TheShadowKarl]

The whole interview is great but seeing her playing her guitar and talking about how she came up with the sound was the real gem of this interview. She lights up when she is showing this off and you can see her passion and love for the music that influenced her. That was so cool and it made me like her even more. I always enjoyed her songs but this makes me love them even more. What a wonderful interview to wake up to.

[@ProfessorofRock]

I felt the same way. Thanks for watching.

[@davidwalsh390]

It's tricky to track down a physical copy, but if you want to hear her fingerpicking style, and totally solo, look up/track down a copy of her Scarlet Tulip EP 🌷

[@nmoused]

I have a deaf brother and I married a man who is deaf and blind. They both love music, but my brother only hears lower registers. I loved the story about your brother, KT.

[@zzkeokizz]

She IS one of the best. She’s teaching people how to busk. I always wanted to hear more from her because I was a drummer in band for 8 years and her song was more percussion than anything else.

[@ThomasHart59]

One of those rare songs that immediately grabbed me the first time I heard it (back in the day), and has held me ever since. Thanks for the interview, she's awesome.

[@dannschmit8604]

I had never heard of KT Tunstall before until I had watched the show 'Long Lost Family'. She had been adopted when she was very tiny and was looking for her biological father. She had found her biological mother and was hoping to find her father. She also found two sisters on her father's side. Such an awesome story!!!! I looked her up on KZbin after the show and found I like her music!! And her accent!!! LOL

Her new music is as good as the older music. Thanks for having her on. I cant believe that single is 14 years old !

Her writing that song and the way she performed it is the essence of musicianship her attitude just frosts the cake we are so lucky to be able to share in what people like her make and to have people like you show us their great people as well thank you

[@Devo_gx]

I was introduced to this song from Catherine McPhee's performance on American Idol. It was such a breath of fresh air and I fell in love with it. Of course I looked up the original and it became an instant classic in my books. KT Tunstall is absolutely brilliant and this interview shows it!

[@ProfessorofRock]

She truly is. She's a great performer. Gives it her all.

[@davidwalsh390]

For further insight, look up the hour long presentation/interview on YT that she did at some UK college she did right before Kin came out, 2016. Cambridge University I think. Very illuminating.

[@FatherAndTeacherTV]

I am definitely surprised by this interview. I remember, back in my college days, having the TV turned on to VH1 and seeing "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" playing in the mornings for a while. I thought it was catchy, but a bit bluesy, and I dug it. Very cool, Adam!

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks my friend.

KT did a stripped down, in-studio performance of “Black Horse…” on VH1 back in the day that I remember was pretty solid.

[@DonByronDukeoftheArctic]

A lot was going on in my life when this song came out. I remember hearing it on-the-fly a few times. I enjoyed it, but it got lost in the noise surrounding my life. I swear, I thought it was Bonnie Raitt. I could not find it. I listen to every album Bonnie Raitt put out and was frustrated that I could not find it. The local DJs had no idea. I got busy, life got in the way, and time passed. Thank you for this. I never realized such a beautiful face was behind such a beautiful song. And such a humble heart. I'm driving to the record store right now to find the album. Her voice will accompany me on my next cross-country Adventure. Another great interview.

[@Jmdeclue]

She seems wonderful. I have seen her in a few interviews and she always comes across as a good person first. Deserved success is not always the case in the music industry but she deserved her success.

He heard my 8 track sound (Pacific Gas and Electric) in my car and told me to meet him at TC's (Top Cat's) between Cobbtown and Metter, Ga. 1971. Blues singers from Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Jacksonville, Tallahassee. I spent most of that summer at TC's. This was the first place I heard Zydeco. It was small less than 300, out on state rd 23. KT reminds me of those days. Great Video.

I can really hear the bluesy grit.

Thank you very much @Professor of Rock for this interview. You are in the strike zone for artists that I want to understand what motivates and how they are inspired by what they create. This interview took me by surprise like it did for you. I would like to commend you for your interview style - it really allows an artist to feel comfortable and think through the creative process that they use. I think it is true that almost no bands are a democracy and this makes total sense because and great artist does not want to compromise on their creative vision and also need to be able to work through getting to that perfect place of creative vision which is many times accented by beautiful accidents that happen along the way. I truly think your channel will be archived for the ages and influence a big way future artists that have that want and need to just be how they are and able to create and entertain regardless of how much fame the ultimately achieve. I am will be bet at some point in the future your channel and amazing ability have real talk with the core of the artist community will inspire many generations of new artists !!

It strikes me that massive international fame in the pop music industry tends to accrue to narcissistic egomaniacs with no compunctions about manipulating and exploiting anyone else on their path to the top. From this interview, it seems to me that Ms. Tunstall has entirely too much gratitude and humility for that echelon of stardom.

Cool! Many thanks!

The first time I heard Black Horse, it was being *broadcast live* on the BBC from Glastonbury. John Peel and Jo Whiley were in a tent and introduced KT Tunstall, cut to KT in a private performance area. Catastrophic equipment failure. KT spent a few flustered seconds trying to get her loop pedals working, gave up and then just ripped out Black Horse and The Cherry Tree anyway, without the effects, great performance. I've had nothing but respect and fondness for her since then.

Great interview, you both show such joy in your love for music. I'm a new subscriber and have been binging for 2 days, and filling my playlists with forgotten (or never knew) favorites!

Thank you.

You're welcome!

She's beautiful. Thanks Professor for this.

You are very welcome

[@robmeekel9198]

My word! This is one of the best interviews yet. She's so awesome.

[@bbyllma]

Best vid yet! LOVED IT!!!

[@misterwombat]

Loved this! Her passion about writing and performing comes shining through, but the PG audio edits interrupt the flow a bit. When the Sex Pistols were on with Bill Grundy, they were pushed into being shocking, but KT is being herself. You should have let her emotions come out and be the victim of the dump button.

I remember seeing a clip of her performing Jackson 5 “I want you back” like 5-8 years ago during the whooohooo years. At first I was like; oh she playing to a backing track… and not even giving her band members TV time… then I realized she was doing all the loops, there in the moment, live… The sheer musicianship and balls it takes to even attempt something like that….let alone to pull it off. Fan-fucking-static

[@chipsterb4946]

I absolutely love her live version on French TV of “I want you back”. The way she quickly and expertly put the loops together is fun, but her performance is just amazing.

[@sosguy1893]

One of your best videos, thanks to both of you. Fascinating and nice to hear her speaking about her music and music creation process.

[@west4coast77]

Thanks! Such a great interview. KT is SUCH a talent with a dynamic, down-to-earth and often funny was of expressing herself. Black Horse is indeed a memorable song that grabs you right off the top and keeps you stomping throughout. Great track!
